6 practical tips for managing comparistonitis

Straight Up Small Business

If you find yourself comparing your life and business to others, take comfort that it’s normal and, to some extent, necessary. Looking at what others are doing helps you to learn what’s possible and can inspire you to reach for even more business success. But at some point, comparing yourself all the time stifles your progress and needs to be brought into check.

Over the years since starting my business, I’ve been at both the unhealthy and healthy end of the comparison spectrum. Now I’ve landed in a good place when it comes to dealing with this issue and in today’s episode, I share my tips for dealing with comparison.

I run through six practical steps to reduce the comparison time waster. I take you through ways to avoid the social media spiral, how to think rationally about your situation and how being grateful and self-aware can shift your perspective.

These tips will help you to be inspired by others' success without slipping into unhealthy comparisons. Remember that being different in a sea of sameness is your selling point. You need to find a way to stop comparing yourself to others and embrace your ‘youness’ instead.

Jot these steps down and refer to them whenever you feel comparisonitis creeping up.
